Skill World Mining Nodes¶
The Skill World mining area, in the northeast of the hub ring, holds ore nodes you can grind hands-off to train Mining. Nodes let you level without hunting for ore in the overworld.
How nodes work¶
Left-click a node block with a pickaxe to start working it. A progress bar fills over ten segments, then the swing completes: you get the ore, Mining XP, and the node loses one health. Nodes have a lot of health, so you can keep chipping one for many ores before it depletes.
- Speed depends on your pickaxe. Wooden is slowest, Netherite is fastest, and Efficiency shortens each segment further (8 percent per level, down to a floor of a fifth of the base time).
- Mining auto-continues: as long as you hold the pickaxe, stand still, and keep looking at the node, it re-targets the next block automatically.
- When a node's health runs out it depletes and reforms 30 seconds later.
- You need a pickaxe (the node refuses other tools) and a free inventory slot for the ore.
Look at a node to pop a floating label showing its name and required Mining level, colored green if you meet it and red if you do not.
Node tiers¶
Each node type has a required Mining level and a fixed XP per ore mined:
| Node | Mining level | XP per ore |
|---|---|---|
| Stone | 1 | 30 |
| Iron | 14 | 200 |
| Gold | 32 | 350 |
| Silver | 40 | 500 |
| Diamond | 52 | 1,500 |
| Ancient Debris | 67 | 2,500 |
| Thunder Stone | 80 | 4,000 |
| Platinum | 95 | 5,000 |
The area spawns at least one node of every type, then fills the rest of its spots with a weighted mix (about 40 percent Stone). Prestiging Mining lowers the XP you earn afterward by 5 percent per prestige rank.
